day cast gloom over the Eappy new year. There is loud call from representative Rhode Island Republicans for a reorganiza tion of the party in that State. The events of the last year have shown that there is decided need of such reorganization.
 Within very short time the manufacture of cotton seed oil hss grown to astonishing proportions Last year the production reached 8 valuation of S2O. 900, 900, and the demand is constantly increasing. Like many other oils of vegetable origin, it is very nutritious and capable of varied use as food. Much of the genuine olive oil is now made out of cotton seed.
 fore the Biological society of Paris in which he had used gratis from the epidermis of a frog to heal the ulcers resulting from severe burns on the foot caused by molten metal. For the sake of comparison one ulcer was treated with gratis taken from the patients own skin, the other from that of the frog. In both cases four cuttings were applied about the size of half franc piece each. Cicatrization took place more rapidly in the

 The abolition of slavery hasn't ruined South Carolina, as the slave owners of that State thought it would. The Charleston News and Courier makes an interesting and instructive comparison of the condition of the State in the year before the war with the record for 1886. Last year the total value of the farm products was $44, 109, ,501, which, despite the decline in prices of late, is very nearly as much as the value in 1860, while the number of manufacturing estab- lishments has advanced during this period from 1 ,230 to 3,242, the capital invested has more than trebled, the number of hands em- ployed has increased nearly fve-fold, and the value of the products now reaches $29,- 951 ,551. Adding to the agricultural pro- ducts the products in the different branches of manufacturing and the outputs of the mines and quarries, the News and Courier considers it evident that the total income of the State is now fully fifty per cent. larger under freedom than in the most prosperous era of slavery. Allowing for the increase in population the average income of each per- son is already about as large as before the war, and is growing larger rapidly every year.
 The coming convention for revising the constitution of the State of New York is looked forward to with much interest by the people of that State. The bill which has been prepared by Speaker Husted is pro- voking some discussion. He proposes that the number of delegates should be 128, three being chosen by each of the thirty two Sen ate districts of the State and thirty-two elected by the State at large. His bill pro- vides for minority representation, thus: Of the three district delegates one must be g Republican, one Democrat and one labor party man. The delegates at large might be all of one party, if each party should make strictly partisan nominations, but in any case the labor party would have at least one- fourth of the convention, a number greatly in excess of it's proportional strength. An improvement upon this is suggested, still securing minority representation by proyid- ing that each voter shall vote for one candi- date only, and the three whose names come out at the head of the poll shall be declared elected. According to this plan, in almost every district the Democrats and Republi- cans would each elect one delegate and the third would be in some districts labor party man, in others prohibitionist.
